I have taken 1,016 vacations in the past 3 months!

Every moment is precious. Moments when you're on vacation are even more so! I'm so bummed about not being able to take a "proper" vacation this summer, that I've decided I'm going to grab every moment I can that feels like it could be a vacation and turn it into one.

This morning the boys and I had the great fortune to hang out at Planet Bluegrass so hubby can do a walk through with his BFF, Paul, who is getting married there in a couple of weeks. OH MY GOODNESS that place is awesome! I've only been there during festivals - when it is packed to the gills. Today we had it to ourselves and I really did feel like I was on a vacation. The boys played in the St. Vrain River (which is more like a creek) and I sat in the sand and watched the sun glisten off the water.

Being there and thinking about these past three months has made me realize that I have had many stolen moments such as these. Moments that prior to diagnosis I might have taken for granted. As of May 13, 2010, I am a new woman and with the bad, there is good. Playing five more minutes with my boys. Noticing the breeze as it blows through my wig. Sticking my feet in the water - even if it is freezing cold. Trekking a butterfly as she flutters from flower to flower. Life is precious and I'm enjoying all these vacationing moments.
